Between State and Exile:
The modern planerat arbete of a Jewish nation-state has been contested from its inception – first and foremost bygd Jews. Insofar as this planerat arbete signified the end of the Jewish condition of statelessness, namely shlilat hagalut, the negation of exile, which was the foundational condition of Jewish existence throughout history, many feared that the Jewish sovereign state would be the end of Judaism. Critics argued that the focus on statecraft and security might overshadow the moral and intellectual values that had been integral to Jewish identity in the diaspora.

A few criteria I used to navigate the ideologically tricky terrain of Modern Orthodoxy:
- I start in the twentieth century. Of course, there are seminal works from the formative period of what we today call Modern Orthodoxy, arguably dating back to the late 18th century.
